Yes, it’s an old joke. But I’m seriously starting to wonder if there’s anything funny about George W. fucking Bush, and whether we should be taking him very much more seriously than we do. Especially now, with Blackwater, he would appear to be building his own private army.
Blackwater appears to be key and taking Bush very seriously makes a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteCheck out this video... it's pretty chilling stuff. (Sorry, you'll need to copy and paste the link...don't know how to do it the easy way.)

A private army is one of the 10 steps to closing down a society that Naomi Wolf (The End of America) mentions in the video. Researching Hitler, Stalin et al, she's observed we're frighteningly close to matching the template they all followed.
Bush & Co could give a shit how stupid people think he is when they're actually getting everything they really want. The distraction value of his idiocy is priceless. I'm thinking of the endless hand wringing on HuffPo.... bloggers spinning their wheels over his inanities, continually missing the point.
